As two *almost* vegans the only thing we haven't given up are eggs. We tried out several of the cheeses you mentioned and Robert likes them. I'm choosing to simply make my own cashew cheese.
Neither of us are fans of any of the fake meats choosing instead to focus on tofu and veg. There are so many ways to make tofu.
My personal recipe for making homemade vegan burgers is with a base of onions, reconstituted dried mushrooms, walnuts, garlic, spices, beans (black or chickpeas) and mincing it all in my food processor. Sometimes I'll change up the recipe with some more veg, celery, carrots. They have that Unami taste from the mushrooms and the texture from the walnuts and are quite honestly the best veggie burgers I've ever eaten, if I do say so myself. I also use the recipe for Swedish non-meatballs.
Thanks, Suzanne!! Your vegan burgers sound delicious!! I hope to cover tofu in another post. As you said, there are many ways to use it, but it can also be intimidating for those who don't use it often.
Wow, I've learned so much, Sherry! I'll never look at veganism the same, and I'm going to be checking my grocery store for the products you mentioned. Thanks for the tutorial!
